Decades ago, it was thought that aging was a process that could not be slowed down.However, cosmetic procedures for facial rejuvenation offered by cosmetologists in modern beauty salons prove the fallacy of this statement, because with their help you can not only slow down the process of aging of the skin, but also significantly improve its appearance.Today there are several dozen effective methods of skin rejuvenation (injection, hardware, mechanical), which have different mechanisms of action and advantages, and the most popular of them will be described below.
Chemical peeling – prevention and rejuvenation of the skin
Peeling is the most effective non-invasive rejuvenation procedure based on superficial burning of the skin with chemicals.Damage to the upper layers of the epidermis and dermis by aggressive chemical elements (fruit acids, phenol, enzymes, trichloroacetic acid) activates the process of self-regeneration and renewal of the skin, which allows you to get rid of wrinkles and age spots, normalize skin turgor and stop the aging process.
In a beauty salon, the most effective are superficial-medium and middle peels, which stimulate the peeling of the epidermis, thanks to which the cells of the dermis are renewed and its internal reserves are activated.The depth of exposure, which depends on the concentration of the chemical, and the active composition of the peeling agent are selected by the beautician independently depending on the patient's skin type, age and indications for the procedure.
The cost of chemical peeling depends on the composition of the peel.
“Beauty” injections
Injection techniques for skin rejuvenation, which cosmetologists call "beauty" injections, involve the introduction of drugs by injection into the deep layers of the epidermis and dermis, in order to activate the process of skin rejuvenation from the inside and eliminate the signs of aging - smoothing wrinkles, improving skin tone, increasing skin turgor and lightening pigmentation.There are many types of injection skin rejuvenation, but the most effective methods include:
- mesotherapy– injections of mesotherapy cocktails into the depths of the mesoderm, which stimulate the functioning of the main structural elements of the epidermis and dermis, increase the protective properties of the epidermis and normalize the production of collagen and elastin;
- biorevitalization– an injection rejuvenation procedure based on the introduction of special gels into the deep layers of the dermis that moisturize the skin, increase the turgor of the collagen structure and eliminate the main signs of skin aging
- contour plastic surgery– a technique aimed at volumetric modeling and rejuvenation of facial skin, which involves introducing dense gel preparations (fillers) into the deep layers of the skin, filling in wrinkles and restoring the volume of soft tissues;
- botulinum toxin injections– a method based on the ability of botulinum toxin type A to block the process of neuromuscular transmission between cells and cause temporary paralysis of facial muscles (helps to smooth wrinkles and increase the turgor of skin fibers; the maximum effect of botulinum therapy can be achieved by combining the technique with other injection methods of skin rejuvenation);
- plasmolifting– a type of mesotherapy – the technique is based on the introduction of the patient's purified plasma into the deep layers of the dermis (the plasma is collected and purified before the session), which stimulates the work of the structural components of the dermis and activates the process of natural rejuvenation of skin cells;
- ozone therapy and carboxytherapy– innovative methods of skin rejuvenation, based on injection into the dermis of a specially prepared solution of ozone (ozonotherapy) or carbon dioxide (carboxysterpy), which saturates skin cells with oxygen, improves the functioning of fibroblasts and stimulates the production of natural hyaluronic acid.
In addition to methods of injection skin rejuvenation, they include the procedure of thread lifting (thread lifting), which involves the introduction of special threads into the deep layers of the dermis, allowing to lift the soft tissues of the face and form a dense frame that prevents them from sagging.This method is a radical way to combat the signs of aging and is a safe and atraumatic alternative to plastic surgery.
The magic of hardware cosmetology
Hardware cosmetology has recently become more and more popular, since salon procedures, based on the use of special cosmetology equipment, allow you to get rid of the main signs of skin aging in the shortest possible time while having a relatively low cost.
Among the hardware methods of skin care, the following deserve the greatest attention:
- phototherapy– a technique of effective photorejuvenation of the dermis and epidermis, based on the treatment of the skin with high-intensity light flows of different wavelengths (the procedure is absolutely painless and the effect immediately becomes noticeable);
- RF lifting– a method based on the use of bipolar radiofrequency energy, which heats the dermis and stimulates the work of all its structural components, which helps to slow down the aging process, smooth wrinkles and normalize the turgor of skin fibers;
- microcurrent therapy– a technique based on improving the functional activity of facial muscles by exposing muscle fibers to high-pulse electric current (types of microcurrent therapy include darsonvalization, galvanotherapy, myostimulation, iontophoresis).
Laser skin rejuvenation techniques are especially popular among patients of cosmetologists - laser resurfacing, fractional photothermolysis and laser nanoperforation.The mechanism of action of the procedures is based on the ability of laser radiation to cause microdamage on the surface of the epidermis and thereby activate the process of natural restoration and rejuvenation of the skin.Laser facial care techniques are relatively expensive, but with their help you can significantly slow down the aging of the epidermis and get rid of wrinkles and other signs of age-related skin changes in the shortest possible time.
Skin aging is an inevitable process, but high-quality home care and regular visits to beauty salons to undergo cosmetic procedures correctly selected by a doctor can significantly slow it down.
